Our concern with the restoration of this visible and physically tangible order is like some kind of a desperate unconscious defence mechanism of civilization, which is felt at the end of a certain stage, when it is faced each day more uncontrollably with the increasingly absurd disrespect for its own fundamental assumptions. The visible, tangible past, this at least seeming feeling of continuity, directs us towards no longer unequivocal goals at the very moment we feel endangered by the transgression of that which is \u2018different\u2019, foreign. In the past, these goals were most noble and sublime when they manifested themselves in art and culture.<\/p>\n<p>But what happens when culture and art suddenly refuse to be merely the locus of secrets, seduction, initiation, the open and highly ritualised symbolic exchanges of spiritual goods in a community that has surrounded itself with barbed wire within its own borders? When art tries to preserve its role as an autonomous space of freedom \u2026 both freedom of the spirit and freedom within physical borderline space, which was in the past encumbered by immeasurable trauma of personal relations?<\/p>\n<p><em>Excerpt from curatorial text by Marko Ko\u0161an<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glu-sg.si\/en\/exhibition\/transgresije-prostor-meja-rob\/?from=eae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More about the exhibition<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/kulturnidomnovagorica\/docs\/transgresije_katalog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Catalogue<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The exhibition was organized in collaboration with Koro\u0161ka galerija likovnih umetnosti.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>I am participating with the silkscreen prints <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/eng\/projects\/portfolio-in-search-of-freedom-ecce-homo\">In Serach of Freedom (Ecce homo)<\/a>.
